This winter preserve is made by removing the bitterness from orange peels, then slowly cooking them with sugar until the slices become candied. Its intense citrus aroma and slightly astringent flavor bring a distinctive touch to the breakfast table.
Cut the orange peels into thin strips and soak them in water for several days, changing the water several times a day to remove the bitterness.
Boil the soaked peels several times in fresh water, draining them each time. This removes any remaining bitterness.
Put the drained peels, sugar, and water in a pot. Cook over low heat until the peels turn translucent, skimming off any foam that forms.
Add the lemon juice and boil for a few more minutes. Important: Drop a little jam onto a plate; if it leaves a trail, it is ready. Fill sterilized jars while the jam is boiling hot, then let it cool.
